IB not able to log on today..

If you find your shortcut no longer works, open the shortcut and check that the parameters are set as follows:

Target:
javaw.exe -cp jts.jar;jcommon-0.9.0.jar;jfreechart-0.9.15.jar jclient/LoginFrame c:\jts

Start in:
c:\jts



Or, if you have had display problem in the past and need to disable direct draw, the target should be:

javaw.exe -cp jts.jar;jcommon-0.9.0.jar;jfreechart-0.9.15.jar -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true jclient/LoginFrame c:\jts

I downgraded to Build 817 after losing pages, etc., and I have no plans to upgrade again until I see at least a month without major error reports.

It seems the TWS developers took a wrong turn somewhere around Build 818, and they're not out of the woods yet.

819 is fine. I've been using it everyday since Mar 11.

If you lose pages, follow this clean install procedure and save a copy of your C:\Jts\dwlcjwfzv\*.lyt files to cut down on future fille corruption:

The same freakin' thing with Build 819 happened to me, though it took me a while to figure it all out because I've been using SOCKScap to traverse a SOCKS5 firewall. I tried everything under the sun that I could think of, and then I realized that SOCKScap keeps a copy of the desktop icon's command string independent of the icon. (In other words, it doesn't point to the icon on the desktop, it replicates its instructions and stores those instructions internally.)

So, once I redid the "application profile" in SOCKScap, it all started working.

Finally!!! I've been sitting out on the sidelines ever since 819 came out.
 
Just an idea for the future... When having problems w/ the standalone version of the TWS, try launching the TWS from the IB website instead.

Nice.

Is there any QA work that goes on in that IT shop or what?
